Notecase Pro v2.7.3 released

The new version is out. Mostly concentrated on bug-fixing and speed improvements, but there are some nice new features too.

Some highlights:- fix: drastically speed up the file save operation for .ncd/.nce file formats (on my test document new save time is cca 20% or the original save time)- add: new Windows installer concept working similarily to the already existing portable install (advantages: does not change environment variables on the PC, less vulnerable to "dll hell")- add: dropping the URL on the tree view creates a note that is a hyperlink (previously it created an ordinary note)- add: Find dialog was enhanced with the option to search in the note contents (text) only- add: implemented "Remove From List" command in the flat list view context menu (does not delete actual note, just removes it from the flat view)- add: left click on the save warning label (status bar) starts the file saving operation- Romanian translation updated (work by Alexandru Bogdan Munteanu)- add: save reminder in the status bar changes color from gray to red when enough document changes have been accumulated (to remind you it's time to save)- fix: do not translate the "Insert new node or select an existing one to start typing." string multiple times (should drastically lower CPU usage on Linux)- fix: greatly improved speed of fetching the image from the internet ("Html contains image links. Do you want to fetch and embed images into the document?")- moved "Insert symbol" menu command to the "Tools" menu- honor hoisting when printing the document (only work with notes below the hoist root note)- fix: "date_last_acknowledged" was not being written back to the document after the task was triggered (caused the already ack. task to be triggered)- add: implemented "File"/"Document"/"Document compact" menu action that compacts the database-based file format document- add: added Ini-file key to disable loading gstreamer audio system ("[Startup]" section, "DisableGstreamer=1" key), must be adeed manually, no GUI yet- add: make flat/tree view column sizes restored on the next application start and when switching between flat and tree view modes
